A scale on your gravity flow wagon lets you track every load. Whether you run 600+ bushel wagons or 300-bushel models, here is what to know before you buy.

Match the system to your wagon size

Large blue gravity flow wagon with a ladder and a single-point hitch
Large wagons 500–1,000+ bu
Smaller red J&M 385 gravity wagon in a field
Smaller wagons around 300 bu

If you run several wagon sizes or plan to upgrade, pick a system that works on both large and small wagons.

Wagons we’ve fitted

We have put scales on gravity wagons from a 200 bu box up to a Parker 1400. Red tags are models we have fitted ourselves; the rest are the wagons we see most often — send us the model and a photo and we will confirm the build.

Data

WiredCab display

Four-way bars connect to the load unit. The readout mounts on a pivot bracket, and the signal runs through a central junction box to a display in the cab.

Best for: the most reliable reading in harsh conditions.

Wireless · BluetoothLibra on a phone or tablet

The scale connects to Libra, so you see and record every weight on an iPad or compatible tablet. Nothing to wire into the cab.

Best for: a clean cab, mobile records and precision ag software.
